Deye vs Growatt vs TBB vs Felicity Solar: Solar Inverter Comparison in Kenya

If you are looking for a solar inverter in Kenya, you have probably come across the same four names again and again: Deye, Growatt, TBB and Felicity Solar. And if you have been asking different solar suppliers for quotations, you may have noticed something interesting. One supplier recommends Deye, another says Growatt is better, someone else prefers TBB, while another installer is happy with Felicity Solar. So, which one should you buy? The answer is not as simple as saying one brand is automatically better than the others. Solar inverters come in different sizes, configurations and price ranges, and what […]

Is Solar Actually Worth It in Kenya in 2026?

We sell solar for a living, so take this with whatever grain of salt feels appropriate — but we’d rather give you a genuinely balanced answer than a sales pitch dressed up as an article, because an overhyped answer helps nobody, including us, once the disappointment shows up six months in. Short version: for most Kenyan households with a KPLC bill above roughly KSh 10,000–15,000 a month, or anyone dealing with regular blackouts, yes — the numbers work, and work well. For a small handful of situations, it’s genuinely worth waiting or reconsidering. Here’s the honest version of both sides. […]

Solar Water Heating in Kenya: Cut Your Electricity Bill Without Cold Showers

Water heating is one of the biggest, most consistent electricity costs in a Kenyan household — an electric geyser running daily adds up to a meaningful chunk of your monthly KPLC bill, month after month, for something the sun could be doing for free. Solar water heating is one of the fastest-paying-back solar investments available, precisely because hot water is a genuinely predictable, daily need rather than an occasional one. How Solar Water Heating Actually Works A solar water heating system uses roof-mounted solar collectors — either flat-plate panels or evacuated (vacuum) tubes — to absorb heat from sunlight and […]

How Much Does Solar Really Cost in Kenya?

We’d rather just tell you what things cost upfront, even the boring parts. The short answer For a typical Kenyan home, a full […]

Solar Battery Prices in Kenya: Lithium, Gel and 5kWh to 16kWh Batteries

If you are planning to install solar at home or upgrade an existing system, the battery is probably one of the biggest decisions you will have to make. Solar panels produce electricity during the day, but what happens when the sun goes down? That is where the battery comes in. For many Kenyan homes and businesses, the main reason for installing a solar battery is not just saving money on electricity, but having reliable power when the grid goes off. The solar battery market in Kenya has changed quite a lot. You will still find traditional gel and lead-acid batteries, […]
